Is your child adventurous by nature? Camp BRIT is the summer experience that takes your child’s brain outdoors for fun and stimulating learning.

Fun, friends, and new adventures since 1951! Camp Langston is a traditional children’s summer camp for boys and girls ages five to 15. From horseback riding and archery, to paintball and the lakefront rope swing, there is always a lot to do including drama, dance, sports, swimming (pool and lake), fishing, hiking, boating, tubing, and even a visit to the friendly camp ghost, Jeff, once a week. Once the sun goes down, the evening programs take place and include traditional sing-a-long campfires, play-day rodeo, and some pretty fun camp-wide games.

In the 22nd season of Kidventure Day Camp, it is boldly taking the summer by storm, conquering the mundane, and defeating the ordinary. The camp theme, called Summer Quest 2016, is its own Comic Book come to life for ages 3-12. Each week provides its superheroes with a new and unique adventure. Never before has a Kidventure camp been designed for this much fun and more focused on bringing out the best character in each camper. Heroes aren’t born, they’re made . . . at Kidventure.
